Lewis Hamilton’s father set for shock FIA role
Anthony Hamilton, the father of seven-time F1 champion Lewis, is set to take on a new role overseeing young driver development for the FIA, as reported by The Times. His impressive work with president Mohammed Ben Sulayem over the past 18 months has led to this opportunity. The official launch of the Young Driver Development Pathway, which Hamilton has been integral to, is expected next month. Hamilton’s dedication to protecting and nurturing young drivers stems from his experience supporting Lewis throughout his junior career. His recent gesture of endorsing Isack Hadjar after a crash at the Australian Grand Prix further showcased his commitment to young talents. Despite potential controversies within the FIA and Lewis’s strained relationship with Ben Sulayem, Hamilton’s appointment signifies a new chapter in his involvement in motorsport development.
